Happy new year to people in Montana and North Carolina, who just joined a growing list of states that now require identification to view porn, or are blocked from viewing it altogether, as new age verification laws went into effect on January 1.

North Carolina’s law was passed as part of unrelated legislation that adds a computer science course to high school graduation requirements.
